Extract  from  the  V^'il!  of  Edmond  dc  Ooncourt : 

{IVans.) 

"My  wish  is  that  my  Drawings,  my  Prints,  my  Curiosities, 
my  Books — in  a  word  these  things  of  art  which  have  been 
the  joy  of  my  life — shall  not  be  consigned  to  the  cold  tomb 
of  a  museum,  and  subjected  to  the  stupid  glance  of  the 
careless  passer-by ;  but  I  require  that  they  shall  all  be 
dispersed  under  the  hammer  of  the  Auctioneer,  so  that  the 
pleasure  which  the  acquiring  of  each  one  of  them  has  given 
me  shall  be  given  again,  in  each  case,  to  some  inheritor  of 
my  own  tastes."
